the young ladies deserve praise for it,

be accomplished in another way. The
ladies ask that the cases be reported to
them, when they are found deserving
by Mr.. HutchinS, and they will be
found ready to assist. This should exist
through all the churches, after the Re

promises some fresh cases for tO-mor

to inspection, and people wishing to

for the vast benefit derived from its in

WANT A REMOTE SITE.
Such Is the Idea of the Members
Of the Chamber of Commerce
Committee on the New Jail
Location.

Such Is the Idea of the Members
of the Chamber of Commerce
Committee on the New Jail
Location.
AT the meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday morning there was
an unusually large attendance, and
among those present were the commit
tee of the council and the county COM
miSSiOnerS and Ii. II. Hart. secretary of
the state board of corrections and chart
ties. The only matter considered was
the report of the committee in regard to
the jail site The committee reported
without recommendation but the men,
berS who signed the report said they
were agreed that the jail should
not be located on the codrt
house block; that its location
upon any contiguous property would de
preciate the value of property adjacent
thereto: and that if a site is secured re-
moved from the new court house, there
should be ground enough purchased so
that court rooms for criminal business
can be erected in connection with the
Jail Dr. Day stated that it would be
necessary to remove part of the Jail
building by spring. in order TO enable
the commission to put in the steam
plant for the new county building.
James King argued against removing
the jail, as proposed, TO some distance
from the court house. and favored lOcat-
ing it on some block adjacent to the
court house. He claimed that it would
cost quarter of 4 million to go so far
away and erect suitable buildings. f.
q. Rogers favored locating the Jail on
Court bnnSn CpuqTp II II NoypS
thought the new jail should be at some
distance from the business part of the
city. and argued in favor OF locating it
down on Eagle street, under the bluff.
To do that would not cost a quarter of Il
million nor anything like that sum. He
wanted a Jail building where the largest
part of the
CRIMINAL BUSINESS
could be done. He did not believe in
going mile away. nor did he favor eX-
pending the whole amount of the $780,
coo for the new building.
W. =. Murray said that until very
recently everybody supposed that the
intention was to locate the Jail on the
court house block. Ii the present site
were utilized tunnels could be made so
that prisoners would not be exposed to
the public in going before the court. In
uSlilS lHc pIcScul IOCdlioll .tllt SAINT
heating plant could be used for the jail
and the court house, and there would
be no depreciation of property. Besides,
if it is kept where it is till, say ten
years hence, when the court house shall
have grown too small, the jail building
could be utilized as an annex and the
jail could then be removed. f. F.
Drake. Charles Nichols and others IA
vored a removal 20 some other place.
Gen. Andrews offered a resolution to
the effect that committee from the
city council and county commissioners
be appointed to visit the best jaiIs in
the United States. At this point the
whole subject was postponed till next
Monday. and in the meantime Secretary
Hart, of the state board of corrections
and chaaitieS, is to be requested to adj
dress the chamber on the matter of jaiIs.

When the sun dies away in the west.

My love has been torn from me-

And snatohed the rose from my soft embrace.
And flow on alone toward the sea-

MY sorrows are like TO thine,
For loved a flower as loved my life.
And vowed that ever come Joy or strife,
It's love should still be mine.

The flower of all flowers l loved the best

Over in West st. Paul, on Alabama

mother. whose pain knows no relief, is
plunged into the depths OF despair to
see her last child. aged fifteen, grad
